Linked GMA Dove Awards
The band started as the one-man act of [[Toby McKeehan]] of [[Washington D.C.]] He met [[Michael Tait]] and [[Kevin Max]] at Liberty University, and they decided to turn dc Talk into a band. They were soon signed with [[ForeFront Records]], a popular gospel label. They moved to [[Nashville]], [[Tenesee]], where they released their self-titled debut album in 1989.
DC Talk's music has won numerous [[GMA Dove Awards]], along with three Grammy Awards. "We're very open about our [[Christian]] faith," says Toby McKeehan, "but when we make our records we want to create a musical experience that anyone can immerse themselves in." But still, he says, "one of our goals is to encourage listeners to question themselves and to seek out truth."
In 2000, the trio announced that they would be attempting solo acts. Michael Tait's band ''Tait'' released ''Empty'' in July 2001, which was shortly followed by Kevin Max's ''Stereotype Be'' in August. Toby McKeehan, under the name ''tobyMac'', released an album named ''Momentum'' in November. Since then, tobyMac has released ''Re:mix Momentum'' (July 2003) and ''Welcome to Diverse City'' (October 2004), Tait has released ''Lose This Life'' (November 2003), and Kevin Max has released the independent ''Between the Fence and the Universe'' (2004).
